Approximately 1.4 lakh people in the country are visually impaired, with around 5 lakh of them losing their sight specifically due to corneal damage.

  

Posthumous eye donation has the potential to transform lives by restoring vision to those blinded by corneal damage. In Bangladesh, where approximately 14 lakh people live with blindness and 5 lakh could regain sight through corneal transplants, the significance of this practice is profound. Despite increasing awareness, significant barriers remain, including societal hesitation, familial resistance, and logistical challenges. However, through the efforts of dedicated individuals, voluntary organizations, and awareness campaigns, a growing number of people are pledging to donate their eyes, driven by the desire to bring light to someone else's life even after their death.
